The Challenge:

Everyone knows security needs to be “baked in” to a system architecture, but you actually know how to bake it in. You can identify and implement ways to harden systems and reduce their attack surface. What if you could use your cyber engineering skills to design and build secure systems for our customer? We’re looking for an engineer who can create solutions for our customer that will stand up to even the most advanced cyber threats.

As a cyber operations engineer on our project, you’ll design and integrate cyber solutions and products within a dynamic DevSecOps environment. You’ll coordinate work with in-house teams and vendors to identify the right mix of tools and techniques to translate your customer’s IT needs and future goals into a plan that will enable secure and effective solutions. We need to come up with the best solution, so you’ll investigate new techniques, break free from the legacy model, and go where the industry is going. You’ll lead the team through a critical approach to network design, providing alternatives and customizing solutions, to maintain a balance of security and business needs. This is a chance to make a difference in the security of DevSecOps maturation throughout the DoD. Your technical expertise will be vital as you help customers overcome their most difficult challenges by integrating secure practices like identity and access management, configuration management, and patch implementation on a variety of open-source container orchestration platforms supporting cloud applications. You’ll be able to broaden your skillset into areas like automation and orchestration of security-related events and cloud based security maturation while building peace of mind in a critical infrastructure. Join our team, as we improve the DevSecOps DoD transformation through cybersecurity.
